Vision Testing at PreventionGenetics

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of ophthalmology (AAO),
~ 39 million people worldwide are blind and another 246 million people are visually impaired
(
WHO Visual impairment and blindness Fact Sheet 2015). Amazingly, ~ 80% of blindness can be
prevented or cured if detected at early stages (WHO and AAO). Given these statistics, the
importance of early and accurate diagnosis cannot be understated.

At PreventionGenetics, we believe that in many cases, genetic testing can provide the early detection
needed to prevent or cure eye disorders. We have significantly increased our portfolio of genetic tests
for vision disorders. Leading these efforts at PreventionGenetics is Madhulatha Pantrangi, Ph.D. For
Dr. Pantrangi's full biography, click here.

GIVING BACK - REGISTER FOR A FREE TEST

In addition to releasing our new tests, PreventionGenetics supports vision research by giving back to those
working hard to find causes and cures for blindness and vision disorders. "In addition to establishing a genetic diagnosis,
we support advancements in research and treatments that align with our mission of preventing morbidity and mortality from genetic diseases,"
James Weber, PhD, President and Founder of PreventionGenetics. As a part
of this initiative, PreventionGenetics will be giving away a free genetic test from our eye disorders test menu.
